That description is very fair. Hopefully as Memmy and other Lemmy apps progress, we will have more and easier moderation tools for users (rather than relying on admins).

Thank you!

I mean, isn’t that good? Small instances thrive because they run faster without the overload of a bunch of users. I don’t want every asshole from Instagram on the instance I’m on.

Why would Meta target small instances, though, instead of larger, more popular ones? And how does it matter if Meta blocks small instances or if small instances block Meta? The result is the same.

Honestly, I don’t see how this is a threat to “small” instances. Why would Meta target defederation with some dude’s 5 user instance that barely registers on anyone’s radar?

Well. Fuck.

It isn’t a single site or host, and there is no owner. Wouldn’t that be like saying “e-mail must be GDPR compliant”?

The ACA does not require all private plans to cover preexisting conditions. It requires all marketplace exchange and ACA compliant plans to do so. But many insurers - including Blue Cross Blue Shied and UHC - withdrew from the healthcare.gov exchange years ago to sell non-ACA compliant plans instead. With the death of the individual mandate, they lost the insured numbers to make it work. The remaining plans there are from companies like Oscar and are frankly not competitive with what you can get separately - other than preexisting coverage.

Yes you can buy family plans, and of course it scales in price. Averages out to about $400 per person, but of course that also depends on the PPO list, copay v coinsurance, coverage for ancillary services like mental health and prescription medication, and etc.

Not all private health plans cover routine preventive care at a reduced rate. I was on a UHC plan where my annual checkup cost me several hundred dollars.

The ACA was awesome at first. It dramatically improved my personal health insurance. But within a couple of years, the exchange in my area was a ghost town. It is a shell now.

From the Act:

11. “Social media company” means a person or entity that provides a social media platform that has at least five million account holders worldwide and is an interactive computer service.

So it’s a nonissue.

Also, is there formatting on here? I just defaulted to my old habit of > for quote text.

Buried underneath “LPT: Being nice to others is free.”

Lol I remember someone in that thread asking Woody if he remembered taking a high school girl to her prom and knocking her up. And the social media manager faking Woody’s involvement just answering “can we stick to the movie?”

Private health insurance is going to cost you ballpark $400/month, provide no coverage for any preexisting conditions, provide no coverage for your family members (just the enrolling individual), you will typically pay the first $10,000 or so each year before your insurer covers any of the costs, and if you end up needing to use it a lot they will cancel you the next year.

Affordable Care Act coverage will cost about the same but cover preexisting conditions, you can usually cap your own cost for regular checkups to $20, and they won’t cancel you the following year unless the insurance company leaves the marketplace entirely.

Private employer provided coverage varies wildly depending on the size of the employer (because they have more leverage in negotiating with insurance companies) and the employer’s own ideas.

Non-preventable deaths are about 95%.

There is a greater than 5% chance that your death will be someone’s fault.

50% of doctors graduated in the bottom half of their medical school.

Neither have the Seattle SuperSonics.

There are a bunch already… Wefwef is really good

That and a limit of 3 per user per day seem rational.

Any word on memmy App Store approval?
